Howdy y'all! Here are some hightlights of our summer...up to the middle of July. (Then we get a bit more specific!)
April 2013
Soph starts some cereal...mmmm....not! She preferred yogurt and mashed bananas to rice/oatmeal cereal!
May 2013
Sophie is 6 months! A few of my favorites...
My first Mother's day!
Sophie wearing my mom's old dress!

Speaking of the boy...
Great Grandpa Metz
Thanks for coming to visit Grandpa and Grandma! We loved having you!
For Dan's birthday we spent the night in Glenwood Springs. The next day we hiked up to Hanging Lake....Great hike!
I love that we're three now... :)
All bundled up and safe on Daddy's back!
Sophia's first camping trip!!! She did really well...other than it was a bit cold at night!
Mmmm....steak dinner! We found Ribeye steak at a local mountain grocery store for 4.99/lb!
Mommy's little pal
The next day we went to see the sand dunes! Magnificent!
Other than having two flat tires and having to buy a full new set, it was a great trip!
June 2013
Sophie has TEETH! AH!
So few pictures :( But we took a quick trip down to Mexico to see Joel, Kristi and Soraya!
Matching outfits from Grandma Leman! (Not in smiling moods)
Hanging out with some of Dan's work friends at Slone's Lake...We were able to try paddle boarding! FUN!
The annual Sunday School picnic....complete with pinata!
Victoria (who lived with us for part of may into June) showing the little ones a butterfly!
Loving her new toys from Rose Zarkovacki!
Bike ride into Cherry Creek Reservoir! Mmm....a cookie!
A project complete! Clutches for my sister's wedding!
July 2013
In early July we were able to have some dear friends stay with us! Shayne, Emily, Brady and little Maddie!
The girls are about 6 weeks apart!
Jeeping! It was so fun to have another jeep along!
Such a great family...we love you guys!
All three of the kiddos playing together...they are going to be good buds!
Another toy from Rose! She hit the jackpot at a garage sale!
Feeling like big stuff!
Sophie loving the fresh garden produce U. Jake gave her!
More to come!
Enjoyed! Will look forward to the next installment!!

ReplyDeletewoohoo...well done!! Love when you update. Keep them coming:)
ReplyDeletelove reading your blog, Tess! Hope all is going well...definitely looks like it is :) -caitleigh
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Tess! Loved the 6 month pictures of Sophia, darling! Your pictures from the Hanging Lakes/Sand Dunes were pretty! When we were at the dunes (July) the river was mostly all dried up. Seems like so long when we were back to visit, your pictures/narrative really make me want to come again, like tomorrow! :) Looking forward to seeing some pictures from the wedding, too. (PS- I like the changes to your blog- the mountain picture in the beginning is awesome!! Did you take that? Where from??)
ReplyDeleteTess, your little girl is so sweet!
